And just when you think those stories couldn’t be topped, here comes an incident that completely overshadows them.

Recently, a SpiceJet flight turned into a nightmare for one unlucky passenger who ended up getting stuck in the bathroom for most of the journey.This incident occurred on Tuesday, January 16, on Flight SG-268.

 

 

The flight departed from Mumbai at 2 AM local time, heading towards Bengaluru, as reported by the Indian Express.The passenger, seated at 14D, headed to the restroom right after the seatbelt sign lit up.

What was expected to be a routine visit turned into a horrifying ordeal when the bathroom door jammed, trapping him inside.

The airline later stated, “A passenger unfortunately got stuck inside the lavatory for about an hour.”Despite the crew’s best efforts and the help of several passengers, they couldn’t get the door open.

This meant the passenger had to endure being in the cramped toilet space even during the plane’s landing at Kempegowda International Airport.

Understandably panicked, the passenger received some reassurance from the flight attendants who slid a note under the door.This note has since gained significant attention online due to the entire ordeal.

The note read, “Sir we tried our best to open the door, however, we could not. Do not panic.

“We are landing in a few minutes, so please close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come. Do not panic.”True to their word, as soon as the plane touched down, two engineers came aboard and managed to break down the door.

Once freed, the passenger was given immediate medical attention to help him recover from the traumatic experience.Following the incident, which attracted global media attention, the airline extended a gesture of goodwill.

In addition to the apology, the passenger was offered a full refund as a compensation for the ordeal endured.
